Henderson's water provider depends on the exact address: annexed parcels may be on Commerce City, Brighton or Thornton service, and small districts such as Hazeltine Heights Water and Sanitation District also serve the area. If your home has its own well, a plumber can test the pump, switch and tank. Call the number on this page to be connected with a local plumber in Henderson.
Signs your well system needs help
- No water at all, even with power on
- Pressure that won't build back up after a shower
- The switch clicking on and off with every small draw
- Air in the lines after the pump has been off
- A breaker that won't stay set
- Gritty or off-color water after long run times
Each of these narrows down to the pump motor, the switch, the control box or the tank. A plumber can test those in order before deciding whether the pump has to be pulled.
Who supplies water in Henderson
Henderson is an unincorporated Adams County community along Brighton Road north of 120th Avenue, and much of the land around it has been annexed by Commerce City, Brighton and Thornton. We could not confirm a single water provider. Annexed parcels may be served by South Adams County Water and Sanitation District, Brighton or Thornton, and Hazeltine Heights Water and Sanitation District, which has a well house on East 104th Avenue, provides domestic water to its customers without a published service-area boundary.
The honest answer is that providers vary by address. Check your water bill, or ask Adams County if you're not sure. If you get a bill from a district or city, you're on piped water and your pressure problem is in the plumbing. If you don't, look for a wellhead and a pressure tank.
Hazeltine Heights customers own the service line from the downstream side of the meter pit to the home, along with any required backflow or cross-connection devices, so leaks on that stretch are a private repair.
What drives the cost
- The component that failed, from a pressure switch to a submersible motor
- Pump depth
- Pressure tank condition
- Wiring and the control box
- Permits: unincorporated Henderson goes through Adams County, while annexed parcels go to their city
